Two missionaries were traveling trough the jungle, and got caught by the local tribe. The village elder explained "You have tresspassed on our most sacred and holy burial ground. Now you must pay the price. The ancient penalty was known as "the choice". Either death, or "bunga bunga". The tribal elder pointed at the first missionary and said "choose!". The first missionary said "death is so final, and absolute, so I choose Bunga bunga, whatever that is". The elder then said " he has chosen!". He gave a command, and 4 of the biggest guys ran over, tied the missionary to a stake and proceeded to brutally rape him over and over, until he collapsed in a heap, sobbing and bleeding from the rectum. Now, the village elder points at the other missionary and says "choose". The second missionary looked at his falled comrade, and said "I have SEEN Bunga Bunga, and fuggedaboudit! I choose death!!". The village elder smiled and said "A wise choice my friend, however, according to our custom we have a tradtional way we administer the death penalty here".

Russian police are investigating a case of cannibalism involving three homeless men and a kebab shop. The three men are suspected of killing a man, eating part of his body and the selling other parts to a kebab shop. Police statements have revealed the men were unhappy with the victim and had allegedly targeted him because of their hostility. The men, from the city of Perm, some 1,400 kilometres east of Moscow have been charged with the murder of a 25-year-old victim. The body of the man was found in the forest in Perm and was found to have been attacked with knives and a hammer. The corpse was dismembered. Part of it was eaten and part was also sold to a kebab and pie kiosk, according to police.
The kebab shop was not identified.

A Russian cannibal who killed and ate parts of his own mother has had his prison sentence reduced by nine months after a court accepted he resorted to cannibalism out of hunger rather than preference.

Sergei Gavrilov admitted he had used parts of his murdered mother's legs to make soup and pasta for weeks on end. But he argued he was driven to the desperate act because he had ran out of money and was starving.

"I did not like the flesh," he told investigators. "It was too fatty."

A court in southern Russia accepted his explanation and ruled that the unemployed 27 year-old had therefore not wantonly defiled his mother's own corpse. It did find him guilty of murder, however, and sentenced him to fourteen years and three months in prison, according to Russian news agency Interfax.

That is nine months less than the standard 15-year sentence for such a crime. Mr Gavrilov got off more lightly because of his confession and because the judge believed he had turned to cannibalism out of hunger rather than preference.

Mr Gavrilov said he had killed his 55 year-old mother Lyubov last January after she refused to hand over her pension. He wanted to spend the money on a drinking and gambling binge.

Angered by her refusal, he hit her on the head with a brick and strangled her with an electric cord before dumping her lifeless body on the balcony.

It was only two weeks later after he had spent all her money that he discovered that her body had frozen on the balcony and decided to begin slicing bits of flesh from her legs to keep his hunger pangs at bay.
